Germany vs Greece tomorrow...Anyone giving the Germans a chance? they're big outsiders to win it.

Going by form you'd think they'd have a chance and having Kaman and Dirk sure helps.

The USA women's team is currently beating China 61-27 early in the third, embarassing!

Germany are paying $1.9 with a 8.5 start. If you think they are a chance for an upset it might be worth taking this

i took them heads up at $3.55 but i might take that line just incase..

$30 on a +7.5 line covers my other bets, just put another 10 on germany they went up to $3.80

Interestingly, two techs for flopping were called in the Spain - Germany game. Both were dubious calls, and yet I heartily approve.

Decent game, if only to watch Spain execute their offense. It's a beautiful thing.

That Rubio kid has been hyped/praised to no end already, but you can count me as a member of the bandwagon. Unfortunately we haven't been able to see what he can do with the ball though ...

The Opals are struggling big time against Latvia atm..while a loss would mean nothing to them in terms of advancing to the quarters, it is not a good sign if they can't beat a team like Latvia

yeh they played well second half, They were down at half time.
They are going to need to step up a lot if they are going to get gold

yes for sure , they won the world champs so they can do it , a bit of competition is good, Erin Phillips should get more court time.

I reckon they will get Silver at worst which is pretty good .

I'd be disappointed (as would the team) if they Opals won anything other then the Gold. The only thing between them and gold is Candice Parker!

candace parker, and lisa leslie, and diana taurasi and sue bird and sylvia fowles and cappie pondexter.....

ofcourse the team would be disapointed if they didnt win gold, but its not like they dont have any competition, the usa are still a very very good womens team, to good to pencil it in as a definite win, hell candace parker really hasnt set the world alight this tournament, im looking forward to LJ vs LL and taylor on taurasi
